I was noticing that they've made the bathroom stalls at Applebee's larger since the last time I visited.

What's funnier is the things I haven't noticed myself but others have pointed out to me...like how much space there is now between my stomach and the table when I sit in a booth.

Last week at work, I dropped something down the front of me at lunch and my boss pointed out that it landed in my lap and not on my chest. That's a first!! Anyone else have any cool happenings lately?

HUGS,

Hi Chrissy,

Oh I can relate and it might seem so ordinary for most people to sit in a booth with out any concerns on how they will fit but for so long I feared them.
Now I catch myself still looking to see which side might have more room just in case but no fears anymore since i know I will fit just fine now and to still have room for another person beside you and your pocket book and or coat.
You are right about the bathroom stalls too., this makes me laugh.
I was at the doctors office the other day and it had been awhile since I was at this office and I noticed the chairs where a little roomier too.
Hmmmm and getting in and out of my car is so much easier., and pulling the seat up to the steering wheel and still be able to breath. WoW.
I play an organ and as I always dreaded the organs in some churches because my legs are so short, but tummy always made it very diffecult to reach the peddles, now well it is so much easier., I guess my little legs were not as short as I thought.
I could go on and on., might think of more awwww moments...

Good one...robbin

That, for sure, is a WOW! moment. Aren't those like the best boosters ever? I am happy for you. It gives you the stamina to keep going with your new way of life. I think the biggest thing for me was when a friend of mine while shopping didn't recognize me at all. I posted that a while back. The thing now for me is.....in the past, I always put my plate of food on my belly while eating in the living room like a pregnant lady would. LOL LOL LOL! I would slouch a bit, and enjoy. Now, if I tried that, the plate would be all over my legs, and the floor. I have no belly to speak of. I guess that is still the biggest moment for me, and I can try this daily if I need a little booster...thinking that I have gained weight. Not true, but that is the ol' mind playing tricks on me again. Yes, I do somedays, think I still need to lose. I wonder if that feeling ever goes away, cuz I know I am right where I need to be, at my ideal weight. Well, enough on that. You keep posting those WOW! moments. They are my all time favorite things to reply to on the site. I love reading them, knowing how excited a person gets when they have one. Keep up the great job, chrissy. I look forward to getting to know you a little better from now on.

YES thats a great WOW moment for sure.
I have to add at my heaviest being i carried
all my weight in belly and chest i didnt
even fit in a booth and had to always prey
that i would be seated at regular table
with a chair that i could fit! THIS was a
embarassing problem!!!

I can also relate to food landing on my shelf (chest)
not the lap!!! GOT to love these moments and im
so happy i dont have to stress were they are
going to seat me anymore!!!!

ALL the best!!! AND hey are you also noticeing the gap
between your tummy and the steering wheel when you
drive i loved watching that get bigger and bigger
and eventually had to start inching the seat up!
